exhibition & performance | Fabio Mauri "I Was Not New"

Senza Arte (Without Art), 1990

A few weeks ago, ‘Fabio Mauri. I was not new’ the first New York exhibition devoted to Fabio Mauri opened at Hauser & Wirth. Mauri (1926-2009) was considered one of the most prominent postwar Italian avant-garde artists; his  five decades work in visual and performing arts, film and writing, encompassed several disciplines and media, including drawing, painting, sculpture, performance, film, and site-specific installations. An ante-litteram conceptual artist, Fabio Mauri explored socio-historical issues emerging from the turbulent Italian prewar and postwar political periods, including Fascism and Holocaust. 
The exhibition is organized by the gallery in collaboration with Olivier Renaud-Clément and will remain on view through 2 May 2015; a survey from Fabio Mauri oeuvre will be presented at La Biennale di Venezia – 56th International Art Exhibition.
